Should i sell or keep my car?!?!?!

LiverpoolSuarez7 · 07-20-2011, 10:37 PM

Hey guys, i have a 2008 BMW 335i E93. Now i really love the hardtop but its a automatic. I really want a manual car, and im looking at M3s or Carreras or whatever else! Question is should i just keep my car and mod it or buy a better car thats a manual and maybe a convertible. Opinions??

AoS810 · 07-20-2011, 10:41 PM

do whatever is gonna make you happy.. if you have the money to comfortably afford a manual convertible m3 or porsche.. then why not?

LiverpoolSuarez7 · 07-20-2011, 10:44 PM

See the thing is with my budget i simply cant afford the M3 convertible, it would have to be a sedan. And i would be giving up the hardtop. Anybody know any cars in the 50k below price range that would be good?

Bmoney2K4 · 07-21-2011, 01:06 AM

i dont like covertibiles so i guess sell the convertible

drewh130 · 07-22-2011, 03:22 PM

If you want manual, get rid off your car asap and get what you like. maybe wanna get something else for chnage...not BMW, although new M coupe is nice and affordable.

convertibles should not be sold to men unless they are 2 seater cars

anytime I see a E93 I think chrysler sebring with mom and sis shopping

Convertible = woman

therefore,

You = woman

If you can't afford an M3 convertible but can afford a sedan it tells me you are stretching to do this which is a bad idea IMO. I'd sell the e93 and get another with a MT. Or if you really want a sports car, how about a used Boxster?

335 oClock · 07-24-2011, 08:53 PM

get the car I got 8)

335 oClock · 07-24-2011, 08:54 PM

oh and, if you still think a boxter is a valid thing to be called a sports car, let alone a porsche, you are g-r-e-a-t-l-y mistaken

Why not make it so you can afford the M3 convertible? Save up, make a job move, whatever? If you can't afford what you want, figure out a way to get what you want. There's nothing wrong with a 2008, my gosh, it's 3 y.o.

Cayman S and Boxster S spanks a BMW 335. And why can't people put the s in boxster? It's like people who spell it Toyota Camary. wtf?

I don't know why you would say this. Don't be a 911 snob and of course a Boxster is a sports car. It's a lot more sports car than any current BMW. Even an M3 is a sports sedan. By the way a Cayman S is faster on a track than a Carrera.

nah, i hate boxSters, I believe they should not be a part of the porsche family.

Buy new is always better. =)

Do what is going to make you happy both emotional and financially...

Really? A E90/92 335i is probably faster than a E93 M3...
